ANSWERS
1. D. Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH)
• Thiopurines can cause a transient transaminitis, cholestatic hepatitis, sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, and NRH
• NRH occurs in ~1% of IBD patients treated with azathioprine for 10years and is characterized by diuse liver nodularity without annular brosis leading to non- cirrhotic portal hypertension
Four patterns of hepatotoxicity are recognized with the use of thiopurines (azathioprine, 6­mercaptopurine, thioguanine):
1. Atransient and usually asymptomatic elevation in serum transaminases is the most common,
occurring in ~10% of patients. It is usually self- limiting, resolves rapidly on drug discontinuation or dose reduction, and is associated with higher levels of the thiopurine metabolite methyl- mercaptopurine.
2. One in 1,000 develop idiosyncratic cholestatic hepatitis with intrahepatic cholestasis on
histology but with only modest elevations in aminotransferases and alkaline phosphatase alongside moderate- to- severe jaundice.
3. Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (formerly ‘veno- occlusive disease’) is best recognized with
the use of chemotherapy agents or after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation but is rarely reported with chronic thiopurine use. It is characterized by damage to small hepatic vessels causing abdominal pain, jaundice, oedema, and portal hypertension.
4. NRH is a rare liver condition dened by alternating atrophic and hyperplastic areas of liver
parenchyma causing diuse nodulation without annular brosis that can progress to non­cirrhotic portal hypertension. The cumulative risk of NRH in patients with IBD treated with azathioprine is 0.5% at 5years and 1.25% at 10years. In patients on long- term azathioprine for AIH who develop features of portal hypertension, both NRH as well as brosis progression must be considered as an underlying cause.
Drug- induced AIH is associated with minocycline, nitrofurantoin, diclofenac, indomethacin, and iniximab. Hepatic brosis can be caused by amiodarone and methotrexate. Steatosis is seen with methotrexate, 5- uorouracil, corticosteroids, and tamoxifen. Granulomatous hepatitis is associated with allopurinol, carbamazepine, methyldopa, phenytoin, and quinidine.

2. C. Restrict hypotonic uid intake to less than 500 ml per day and commence a mix of 20 g glucose, 3.5 g salt, and 2.5 g sodium bicarbonate in 1 litre water
• Oral glucose- electrolyte mixes (e.g. St Mark’s solution or double strength Dioralyte™) require a sodium concentration greater than 90mmol/ L to achieve net absorption in the jejunum
• Patients with more than 100cm jejunum do not usually require parenteral support
The residual small bowel length following resection, together with the presence or absence of colon in continuity, can help predict what hydration and nutritional support patients will require. Radiological estimation (using magnetic resonance (MR)/ computed tomography (CT) enterography or barium studies) approximates to bowel length but referral to the operation note is important. Patients with more than 100cm jejunum, or 50cm jejunum anastomosed to colon, do not usually require parenteral support.
To achieve net absorption of sodium and water, jejunal contents require a sodium concentration greater than 90mmol/ L. These patients must not be encouraged to drink hypotonic uids ad libitum to quench thirst because this increases stomal losses and worsens hydration. Hypotonic uids (e.g. water, tea, coee, fruit juices) should be restricted to less than 500 mL per day. An oral glucose- electrolyte mix, with a sodium concentration greater than 90mmol/ L, aids water/ sodium balance. St Mark’s solution (20 g glucose, 3.5 g salt, and 2.5 g sodium bicarbonate in 1 litre water) or double strength Dioralyte™ (10 sachets in 1 litre water) are two mechanisms to achieve this. The latter provides a substantial potassium load as well, and should be exercised with caution in patients with a propensity for potassium overload (e.g. renal failure).

3. E. Underlying primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC)
• MRCP and CT are used in the diagnosis and staging of perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) to characterize degree of biliary and vascular involvement, respectively
• LT is preferable to resection for pCCA in patients with PSC
• Locoregional lymphadenopathy is not a contraindication to resection but is associated with a poorer outcome
pCCA describes tumours located between the secondary branches of the right and left hepatic ducts, and the common hepatic duct proximal to the cystic duct origin. Tumours more proximal to this are called ‘intrahepatic cholangiocarcinomas’ and those involving the common bile duct, up to but not including the ampulla, are called ‘distal cholangiocarcinomas’. Acombination of MRCP and CT is used in the diagnosis and staging of pCCA to characterize degree of biliary and vascular involvement respectively. ERCP also enables detection of strictures and can acquire biliary brushing samples for cytological assessment. Endoscopic ultrasound is associated with high tumour detection but ne needle aspiration should be avoided due to the risk of peritoneal tumour seeding in >80%.
Surgical resection is potentially curative for patients with pCCA without the following exclusion criteria:i) bilateral involvement of the second- order bile ducts; ii) bilateral or contralateral vascular involvement; iii) presence of metastatic disease; iv) underlying PSC. Patients with PSC should preferentially be treated with LT because of the eld defect in PSC and frequent underlying advanced brosis. The presence of locoregional lymphadenopathy is not a contraindication but is associated with a poorer post- surgical outcome. Abutment (as opposed to involvement) of the vasculature is not a contraindication for resection. Surgery for pCCA involves lobectomy with bile- duct resection, regional lymphadenectomy, and Roux- en- Y hepaticojejunostomy. To maximize post- operative liver function, the ipsilateral portal vein is often embolized pre- operatively to

promote contralateral lobe hypertrophy. LT following neoadjuvant chemoradiatherapy oers the best outcomes for patients with unresectable pCCA but only a minority of patients with early stage disease are candidates.

4. D. Dysmotility associated with hypermobile- type Ehlers- Danlos syndrome (hEDS)
• hEDS is associated with functional GI disorders and autonomic dysfunction
• These patients often develop more chronic pain and somatization
• hEDS does not have a known genetic basis at present
Approximately one third of patients presenting to gastroenterology clinics have evidence of joint hypermobility. The Beighton score can be used to formalize the degree of hypermobility, with a positive score dened as >6 in prepubertal children, >5 in postpubertal people, and >4 in those over 50years of age. Patients with both hypermobility and GI symptoms often have evidence of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) or other autonomic symptoms such as irritable bladder.
hEDS is a clinical diagnosis and there is no known genetic association at present. The 2017 international diagnostic criteria include aspects such as generalized joint hypermobility, positive family history of hEDS, chronic pain, and musculoskeletal pain. The mechanism of GI and autonomic involvement is poorly understood.
Cannabis is known to cause GI upset, including constipation, but usually only when used to excess. The patient is not diabetic and there is no suggestion of an eating disorder causing her symptoms. Mitochondrial disease is unlikely, particularly because there are no visual symptoms.

5. C. Interstitial cells of Cajal
• Cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) are gut hormones involved in delaying gastric emptying
• Slow wave stomach contractions are controlled by cells of Cajal whereas phasic contractions of the distal stomach are controlled by the migrating motor complex
The proximal stomach serves as a reservoir for food and, at its maximum relaxation, gastric barostat studies have shown that it can allow over 1L of nutrients to be ingested. In addition, the proximal stomach also helps to regulate the gastroduodenal ow rate and provides the space and time for pepsin and hydrochloric acid to initiate digestion.
The duration of post- prandial motor activity varies according to the volume ingested as well as the chemical characteristics of the ingested foods. The maximum duration of post- prandial motor activity is 120 minutes.
CCK and GIP are hormones involved in producing a negative feedback to slow gastric emptying. CCK regulates gastric emptying and bowel motility to induce satiety, thus delaying gastric emptying. GIP is thought to inhibit gastric acid secretion and reduce the rate at which food is transferred through the stomach, thereby delaying gastric emptying.
